Pour Over Manual Brew Coffee
Pour over, or manual brew coffee preperation is a great way to control your cof-
fee quality. It does require more time than just flipping a switch, but for many the
higher level of engagement is part of the pleasure of consuming coffee.
Equipment needed:
Grinder
Brewing manual pour over method:
• Measure 6 ounces of water for each cup you intend to brew. Place
measured water in kettle and turn on kettle to heat the water to your desired set
temperature.
• Grind two tablespoons of coffee beans per cup.
• Rinse the filter cone, filter, and coffee pot (or whatever you are brewing into)
with hot water to preheat them.
• Assemble the filter cone, filter and vessel.
• Once the water reaches the set point pour it into the filter. We recommend
starting in the center and pouring in a circular pattern, moving gradually towards
the edge of the coffee bed. A slow steady pour allows for even extraction.
Tips:
• We recommend preheating the filter and cone. Pour a couple of ounces
~60ml of hot water into the filter and discard prior to adding coffee.
• If you have access to a scale you can measure the amount of water while
pouring.
• Pre-wetting the coffee grounds a minute before starting to pour over helps
extraction.
• Pour-over coffee is ground finer than drip, but not as fine as espresso.
